9 army troops hurt from road accident

From the Mindanao Times (Feb 22): 9 army troops hurt from road accident

NINE soldiers were injured when their military vehicle turned turtle while they are traveling along the highway in Purok 4, Barangay Lacson, Calinan District at 3:20 a.m. of Saturday.
 
Police identified the wounded soldiers as Ssg. Bernard Lumano, Cpl Joel Bautista, Pfc Joey Sumodio, Pfc Ronel Fanuga, Pfc Nel E. Devaco, Pfc Ramil Clarion, Pvt. Brix Gordon Virray and Pvt. Adrian Perez, all members of 84th Infantry Battalion.
They were now in stable condition at Camp Panacan Station Hospital.
 
Meanwhile, Pfc Ryan Elaga was brought to the Southern Philippines Medical Center for further treatment.
 
Chief Insp. Randy Sambalod, chief of Calinan Police Precinct, said there were about 15 soldiers on board the military truck.
 
“They came from Malagos going to Malabog in Paquibato,” he said. “When they turned a corner at Purok 4, the rear tire exploded.”
 
“Maybe they were traveling fast because the driver failed to control the vehicle, that’s why it turned turtle,” he added.
